We had spring break and we didn’t do much but babysit the puppies and try and sale the puppies. We did go to the rodeo two times and took the kids. It was our 15 year anniversary during the week as well. It started with us going to see KISS at the rodeo. It was pretty cool knowing that I went to see them in 5th or 6th grade with my mom and now at age 44 I was taking my kids to see them as well. I have seen them 5 times now. We had a good time and the kids enjoyed all the rides. They were just soooo expensive. We went to Miranda Lambert the night of our anniversary. Me and Brad dressed alike. Tres had bought me a shirt that matched his and he wore a cowboy hat. I thought it was really cool. Especially since I never was able to do that with my dad. Tres wore a pretty black shirt. She had bought some boots and wore a black dress to KISS with her new black boots. Mady looked like one of those redneck FFA girls. She had on a straw hat and and a cowboy t-shirt she wore her boots with the pink on top. She knew every song. She ate a big thing of cheese fries that covered the whoel plate. Me and Brad ate two big turkey legs.Tres had some chicken nachos at the concert. We had tickets to Alan jackson as well but decided to go to Beau and Brandee’s for Beau’s birthday instead. Me and Tres went to Pappas for our anniversary it was nice but it was hard to enjoy the food when I am on this diet. But it has been 15 years and I am sure we can celebrate it when I can eat a good meal I like and have a couple drinks.
Baseball has been off and on for Brad. He does a great job behind the plate and the other night he even came close to throwing a couple guys out at third and makes good throws to second. He stays in front of the bell good and really likes it. He has been kinda inconsistant with his pitching. He looks so good on sunday during lessons but on the field I guess it is the base runners and the stealing that gets him worked up. He says he is nervous. He will show a couple real good pitches then kinda struggle and walk a few guys. He doesnt look as relaxed as he has in the past. Maybe I just need to sit and watch and not coach him while he is pitching. It is just hard to se him alone out there on the mound when he is struggling. I wanna help him.
Mady is finishing up tennis and track she will start swimming last and then be done with athletics for 7th grade. It has been busier on me than I think on her. She is not liking volleyball very much right now. I hope she is not getting too burned out and will play again next year. I want to give her the best chance on making the high school team if she wants. She is done with tennis and played doubles with Arika Halling her last tournament. I think she had fun.She is really loving golf and even ask me to take her to the driving range to hit balls. I can’t wait to see how much she improves I am really excited for her as well. I think she is gonna play with me and Greg and Dada in the school golf tournament. That will be fun. She went to the Shell Houston open sunday and had a great time.
I have put my garden in and hopefully it will be productive. I had the woodshop guys build me a fence across to back neighbors. Then I tilled all that up. I planted the usual tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. I also planted onions and eggplant. I found some okra and am going to try that. Oh and a couple cantaloupes. I have been spending alot of time back there setting it up and have enjoyed working on it. Kinda peaceful and relaxing getting your mind off all the business. I went and also bought a couple orange trees and a granny smith apple tree. The orange trees are satsuma and blood orange. I am very anxious to get some fruit in the next year.All of the puppies are gone finally. We made a little bit of money. We kept one and her name is Daisy Mae. She does a good job going in and out of the house. I think Lizzie is helping her cause she patterns herself off of her. She needs to go outside at about 4 in the morning though and that is a hassle.
Brad is going to the monument this week and has learned alot about Texas history. I will post more about his field trip and a funny story after he goes.
Ya’ll be safe out there!
